I take my husband out to dinner for his birthday and usually pick some place really special. We were in Australia and decided to go to Bambini Trust. It was just a couple of blocks from our hotel so we strolled over. What a delightful surprise!! It doesn't look like anything from the street - just a door. But once... More

Made it to Bambini Trust Café just in time to eat from their fantastic breakfast menu. (Beware, breakfast orders close at 11.00am) From it's classic Italian interiors to its exceptional service and outstanding food, this café is not to be missed. Good luck trying to nab an outdoor table. Grabbing a touch of fresh air and sunshine when working in... More

Be careful when dining at this restaurant as our waiter scammed us. Our bill came to $101 and placed down 2 x $50 notes and 1 $20 note. The waiter took our money away and then later returned saying that we had only placed down $75 (1x $50, 1x $20, 1x$5 notes). We were shocked and complained with the manager... More

I like this place, but I have to say my wife had the tuna special the other day and was really disappointed (over cooked and a general lack of flavour). I had the ragu which was great (as always) and I really enjoyed it. Overall I think this is a great place to visit once in a blue moon but... More

The food and atmosphere are GREAT, although prices are quite steep. My friend and I sat on an entree size meal with bread at the side, plus one glass of wine. Despite this, waiters treated us well and didn't try to move us on. A classy joint.

We were a party of four including two vegetarians for lunch. We only wanted 'mains' which restricted the vegetarians to only one option - the ravioli. Fortunately they reported that it was very good and we also ordered a veal dish and the barramundi. They were also very good - bordering on excellent. Overall on the food side, it was... More

In Elizabeth Street. Although I say it is excellent I feel it can be very pretentious, but having said that it does not qualify to be downgraded in any way. A good place.
